Hopefully one day, all religious books will be regarded as just that, ancient literature and and a way to get insight into the minds of the people at that time, how they thought, felt and saw the world.
same here. No more than I like reading "love stories".
I scan them because I am uncomfortable with the gui parts. But I also understand that some people connect with that type of writing. That is on me not them. To a degree.
I scan for the information. or the axioms. If a book really resonates with me I list the facts or axioms they have used. Just to makes sure the author didn't hood wink me. Kraus's "something from nothing" is an example. I loved the book but then I listed what he said. I still love the book tho I don't agree with some of his conclusions.

Ohh ok. Da sorry.. the bible is bullshit!
This is atheist site. some people don't understand that we weren't popped by local pastor or daddy so we can look at the issue objectively.
Atheistims in many ways is just like any other religion. It has sects too. There are fundamentalist that don't much care for an opposing point of view. They think their "relationship" is reality. Just like a bible thumper does his/her.
